I am a high school senior in California. I go to a very highly ranked public high school. I want to come to the east coast and am considering applying early acceptance. The Schools I am considering for early acceptance are: Cornell, Bowdoin, Colby, Hamilton, Claremont Mckenna, Bucknell, and Vassar. I want to know which schools you think I have a shot at. Also, if you have any opinions or info about the schools, that would be great. My stats are:
